Wine of the Day: Alamos 2011 Viognier

Alamos 2011 Viognier Mendoza, Argentina 87 points, $13.95, Vintages 507830
Here’s a terrific, inexpensive holiday white full of fruit and spice and everything nice. This is a mild, clean and pleasant viognier with a gentle, correct nose of star fruit, anise and bitter lemon. It’s medium full bodied, fleshy and firm, then a touch bitter on the finish. Good to very good length. Chill well. Tasted December 2012.
